Exhibitions

Ellen Lesperance, Helen Mirra, Traversing

The exhibition Ellen Lesperance, Helen Mirra, Traversing features new paintings and a recent interactive project by Lesperance, and an international, intergenerational weaving project* organized by Mirra. Through their works, Ellen Lesperance and Helen Mirra both consider the complex relationships we as individuals have to the physical and political landscapes we navigate. Each approaches her practice with a similarly poetic tone and critical consciousness. They share an interest in the material of textiles and the structural grid as well as a tendency to create work within carefully derived conceptual systems and parameters.

We also invite you to participate in Congratulations and Celebrations, the interactive project by artist Ellen Lesperance which invites participants to engage with a sweater designed and knit by the artist and exhibited in the show. The sweater is emblazoned with a battle axe and it is to be worn by any member of the public who wishes to engage in a solo performance which promotes personal agency. More information is available on Instagram, or visit congratulationsandcelebrations.org. Individuals interested in participating in this project can contact us at [email protected].
